Well, the temperature of my graphic card isn't so hot (the program
Hardware Monitor tells me the next: Value 47ºC, Min: 44ºC and Max: 47º using Dolphin). I believe is not so hot, is a coherent temperature.
Admin89: I'll try with your tip and when I test it a few minutes I'll write you telling you my results.
Thanks to both of you.

I use your tip, when I open a game the emulator crashes (configuring everything). Anyway, thanks to post your point of view.
Like I said, try stress testing program like OCCT or wPrime, if your system crash then hardware is your problem, either wrongly configured or faulty.

I use OCCT and it looks OK everything. I also use EVGA Precission to speed up the cooler of my graphic card (60) and still freezing.
Speaking about my tests... I disabled "Enabled Dual Core" and it works fine (I read in one forum if you Enable Dual Core you will have crashes any moment and Dolphin developers are working on it to solve this problem). The unique problem is the frames per second, but it's something that I must to work (I mean testing, disabling options, 'playing' with the framerate...). Is not over yet, but is a huge step to finish my nightmare with Dolphin and his problems.
I played those games (well only Baiten Kaitos) fine with DC mode on, I'm sure it has been resolved for a long time now (or specific to an OS).
Your problem is really curious, do tell us if you have found a solution. :p
I post just to give some notes to everybody (and all the people who has the same problem in a close future or now): When I disable
Enable Dual Core the GameCube games works fine and don't freezes or crashes. Only 'play' with fps and use on advanced settings of
DX9 Graphics Plugin on
Enable EFB Copy the option
To Texture to have a better emulation.
For Wii games I was testing a little and I've seen a few things that I want to share: If you don't enable Dual Core the games and speed will be slow, so you must put it on that option. I dunno yet if it crash or freeze the emulator, but if I have one problem about it I'll report the issue.
This post will be an official post about this peculiar problem, isn't?
Continue to posting here, is not over yet but today I believe we give a huge step to solve this problem. Thanks to all for posting.
GAMES TESTED
This section is for all the games I was testing and you will have an explanation about what configuration is the best to play properly. This games are tested with DX9 plugin.
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: If you put Enable Dual Core works fine, without any crash. Full speed. Also use on Graphic options (advanced), on Enable FBP Copy use To Texture to get fastest emulation.
Super Mario Sunshine: Disable Dual Core and you will have the best performance. Enabling this, you won't have any crash. Try to 'play' with the framerate to have full speed. Also use on Graphic options (advanced), on Enable FBP Copy use To Texture to get fastest emulation. You won't have any crash. Wait for more reports.
Pikmin: Disable Dual Core. Like SMS don't have any crash but you must configure the fps to have full speed. Also use on Graphic options (advanced), on Enable FBP Copy use To Texture to get fastest emulation. You won't have any crash.
Mario Kart Wii: This time Enable Dual Core to have the best emulation as possible. You will have a full speed emulation, but somethimes you will have small tugs, something without importance. Also use on Graphic options (advanced), on Enable FBP Copy use To Texture to get fastest emulation. I'm not sure if you will have any crash (at least at the moment). Wait for more information when I'll test more deeply.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Like Mario Kart, Enable Dual Core. On framelimit put off if you don't want problems. You will have full speed. Also use on Graphic options (advanced), on Enable FBP Copy use To Texture to get fastest emulation. I'm not sure now if you will have any crash. Wait for more information when I'll test more deeply.
I know what's the problem guys: The problem is when I Enable Dual Core in config Options. I've read a lot of forums and websites and the issue is common right now because is not perfect. What do you think? I must wait to have a stable version of Dual Core or do you have any recomendation to have a better speed when I emulate every single game without that option?
Waiting your replies, thanks in advance.
Theres some bug in the software and it makes it freeze with (some) Nvidia graphics cards. There are plenty reports of this in this forum and other. Hopefully they are gonna find what causes the problem and fix it in a future build.
But first they need to know about this. If anyone knows the process of submitting a bug can they inform the programmers?

I don't have Nvidia card so I can't explain this one, but if it's gpu specific then try updating/downgrading driver version and if it mitigate the problem then you should also report it to Nvidia (I don't think they'll care but worth a try).
